Who else has tried streaming Halo to Windows 10?

So I got Windows 10 installed last night and was pretty excited about the game streaming - I like to play my Xbox One sat at my PC so it's usually on my desk connected to a monitor, but when friends come round I move it into the lounge, and it would be great to just keep it in the lounge and still be able to play sat at my PC.

I gave it a go and while it works, I am slightly disappointed. My network setup is ideal (all wired, gigabit, etc), and the "Test Streaming" option gives ticks for low, medium and high.

The quality is noticeably poor. I would say it looks a bit worse than standard 720p. However my main problem, mainly for playing online, is the latency.

It's not huge by any means. If you're just firing a gun it's actually kind of hard to notice. BUT, when you have both the speakers of your TV and your PC on, you can hear the difference. Firing a gun, the bullet sound is over out the TV before it plays from the PC.

I did an online game of Team Snipers, ended up on Ghost Town, went 13-11 but it was just a bit strange.

Sadly, I'm going to have to keep moving my Xbox One to where I want to play it for now.
